Purpose: The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate a randomized controlled trial in sitting office workers to reduce sitting time through the use of motorized and non-motorized sit/stand workstations as well as a walking intervention. Hypotheses:
- 1.Compared to the control group, total physical activity will be higher in the standing and walking intervention groups.
- 2.The combined standing and walking group will have higher total physical activity than the other three groups.
- 3.Compared to the control group, the fitness and health outcomes will be improved for the standing and walking groups.
